Le Coq Volant Du Rhone Rouge

The Coq Volant Red gets its lifeblood from the Mistral (a strong, cold, northwesterly wind), and the benefit it brings to help the vineyards to prosper, ventilating the vines, keeping the grapes healthy and chasing away the clouds to allow them to reach perfect maturity.

Le Coq Volant Rouge is made from parcels in the Gayére Valley, which takes its name from the river that runs through it. It is renowned for the freshness of its marbled clay soils which make it an ideal terroir for fresh and elegant grape varieties. Situated to the south of the village of Cairanne, this terroir is made up of colluvions rich in moisture retaining silt, with few stones but occasional gravel and pebbles.

The nose offers aromas of violet from the Syrah and red fruit from the Grenache, underpinned by the elegance conferred by oak ageing. In the mouth it is harmonious and fresh, with good length, in notes of black fruit, spices and with silky tannins.

The perfect companion for bright tasty Mediterranean cuisine such as pork rib with Espelette pepper or red mullet sautéed with tomatoes, olives and basil.
